This post was just put up on the blog of one of our architects, Anatoly Polinsky. Anatoly has a playful take on Spock, a Groovy testing framework, and specifically, abotu connecting Spock with Spring and DbUnit.
So here we go.. Yesterday night we hacked our way into The Ancient
Database where besides the data about ancients themselves, we found
incredible stats about many different living species of all the planets
ancients traveled to.
So what do we do now? Well, we need a way to query/read this data. So we asked Sam
to develop a reader ( ancients called it a ‘DAO’ ) to find a number of
living species on each planet since the “beginning of time”.
So she did, and called this “species reader” a ‘SpeciesDao’.
We, of course, trust Sam. But in ancient technology, trust is always
based on challenging the assumption by testing all the possible
permutations. So we are calling Mr. Spock to help us out…
Sam of course used a well known ancient technique ( code name: Spring Framework
) to create a “species reader”, so Mr. Spock will use all the goodies
of this technique to inject all the dependencies ( e.g. data source, a
reader itself, etc.. ) for a test.
